Why am I getting into sales or marketing? I love business, while others are off entertaining themselves watching TikTok, and eating food. I'm out here learning business. Alongside business are many more topics and inclusions of intricate subjects like sales and marketing, my favorite would be marketing. From a young age, I found myself drawn to marketing, the thought of being a powerful Female CEO on top of the corporate industry, but I'm getting ahead of myself. It started when I took a business class in middle school, I thought of trying something new, and I saw so much interest in the idea of learning people's wants and needs, what they might like, and what they're willing to do in order to obtain something they want as a consumer, a win-win in my book. This is a great way to help people, it shows them exactly what they desire, and as marketing enthusiasts, we are put to the test to figure out what will attract these individuals towards something they want but cannot find or have. We share commodities. Fresh, glossy, innovative, people are the right kind, and I'm the right kind. Perfect for the job, to find what exactly fits right with exchanging offers which are high in value towards customers and it's what they want, you gotta give them what they want. But there are two sides to marketing and those are identical forms of equilibrium, lots of marketing talk but it all makes good sense. A comparable gift for one another which is what I'm all about, not receiving gifts but giving, I want fairness, and we need equality. I thought throughout my secondary schooling about what I wanted to be when I grow up, what should I do in order to obtain enough money to take care of my family, my friends, and eventually a family with a spouse. I want to work hard for the people who weren't able to in my life, I wanna show them that what they're sacrificing was worth it. I am going to strive for prosperity with the people surrounding me in my life; I am inspired by my family, they work so hard each and every day to get me three steps further ahead, putting me first so that they run so I can walk. I motivate myself to continue this path for the future, not only trying to better myself but becoming who I should be to help those in this world. I seek a climb towards hard work being pushed by rain, and people, but at the end of that hike I see a rainbow, I'm hoping there's a pot of gold but if not I will enjoy the colorful rainbow. I wanna actually help people not only through business marketing but as a non-profit lead organizer, changing lives every second of my life. It all starts with kids, they are the beginning, the seedling to a beautiful flower and garden. Someone has to be there to help them grow and find that creative, unique, part of their lives that they're supposed to endeavor. A positive impact on those will create and continue the same path and passage. I hope to find suffering and bring peace and quiet to those in need, some water, clothes, and missing necessities are all they want and desire as our consumers.

As an individual who has experienced mental health struggles, I have also dealt with ways to resolve these impacts that will benefit me instead of, negatively affecting me. Throughout the eighteen years of my life, I struggled with loving myself, however, since coming to college, I have found tranquility within self-love. I found peace in myself and learned to give myself things before I gave someone else what I wanted, what I needed. They say "to truly love someone, you must learn to love yourself first," I used to think that was a silly saying but as I give I never took it, so I felt lost while loving my significant other. It's not my significant other's fault at all, they treat me well and they're all I could ask for, but when going through only having the ability to give the love you have to someone else other than yourself, you begin to lose yourself, maybe even become another person. I realized that this wasn't healthy, that I didn't want to end up emotionally unstable without the one I love because of me, because I'm not able to strongly be with them due to this mental issue. So I changed, not overnight of course, but over time and with a different mindset I'm able to love all of those around me while being able to think about myself equally or just more. I want to make a change in other people's lives that are or were unsuccessful in this trait, I wish to help individuals that have the same mental health struggle I have and I wish to be the shoulder they can cry on when no one's around. I found there to be a big difference between being lonely and being alone; loneliness is a mental, and emotional state whereas being alone is physically alone. You can feel lonely in a room full of people but when you're alone you can think differently. As a person who has been through both numerous times, the ability to be alone is a good thing, you might not think so but when you start to value yourself and the things that you do you truly strive for bigger and better things. Loneliness is mentally draining and it can take a long toll on someone, for me it is emotional, but I feel I can physically be lonely too, and when I do I start to isolate or disassociate myself I'm thinking it's the best option for me at the time. During loneliness, I'm not being by myself for the benefit of me but for others, which is mentally a struggle cause I want to be a free individual who is mentally healthy, but I can't cause I am worrying about others which is another issue. I will make an impact on others in the future by providing the knowledge of how important mental health is. For example, I will spread awareness on the impacts of how our mental health truly impacts our everyday lives. People don't find mental health to be as important as physical health but it's just the same for me, both equally affect your body. I want to continue this awareness of mental health by including it in schooling and having it available for the younger generations to look into so that they don't make the same mistakes we are doing today. Being personally influenced by these mental health issues isn't a choice it just happens and with our help today we can defeat it tomorrow.

A practical solution for helping more people who struggle with mental health is to be comforting and see where they're coming from on their journies. Be the light they need, even if you didn't have anyone there for yourself it's good to do good for others to that you can fill that open wound. Don't be selfish is and stay humble and treat others the way you want to be treated. I think being mindful in every type of situation is good and right, everyone thinks differently so be open-minded and explain things clearly and specifically. People struggling with mental health are stuck in this battle against themselves and most often are stuck there fighting everyday; a battle against yourself can take years to conquer but with trying new things and changing this path can create a positive mind set and maybe you figure out new things you'd like to do that you never had the ability to try to do. Keep yourself busy and think about if what you're doing is really gonna benefit you from a few months from now; re-evaulate somethings in your life. I wouldn't say don't think but often overthinking tends to lead to other thinking and that's thinking too much, so I'd say think about things but decide on it fast and easily. Those are some tactics I use for helping someone who struggles with mental health, I think these are better than nothing and it's good to do something. Therefore these are practical and ideal.

I've been finding myself to be content with life and when I'm happy it's the best but when I'm sad it's the worst. Being happy is ideally the most wanted expression of life and feeling but you can't always be in a good mood, and good things happen and sometimes bad things happen. Often times it's hard to move on when tough times come around and some days you must stick through it but certainly, it isn't easy. One of the ways I try to stay optimistic on a rough day is by thinking about how far I've gone and how much further I can go in my life. I learned that you can't let something like this get in the way of your bright future, I mean look at yourself and think about all the previous bad days you've had before. You have been able to move on from those and you're still here, it's great. I like to think about changing to this positive mindset every time and it works most of the time. Whenever I can't seem to be in a good mood after something hard I also try to do things that make me happy and change my trade of thought. That's how I stay optimistic through tough times.

As a female student in the small-town Green Bay, Wisconsin I try to find ways that I will be able to make a positive change in my community. I find solutions to issues and resolve the most that I can; being open-minded in different situations is key to being collaborative. I find making the community a better place when others are happy about the decisions you've made, and I think if others can agree on something and be joyful about it together than it's a much greater form of a greater community. Some examples I have done that have made a positive affect in my community are: being actively involved in making decisions on school-wide choices, listening and grasping important information on everything I can to be well acknowledged, do anything I am asked to that will benefit the area, purchase from small businesses nearby, hold yard sales, and volunteer. That is how I act locally to affect positive change for my community.

Personally, I have been impacted by mental health struggles sincerely like depression and I think sometimes I still do but I'm learning myself how to cope and face it on a day-to-day basis. You know how they say time heals, it does but not without yourself finding courage in doing things. My journey against depression is an ongoing thing and I think everyone has those bad days that come and go as well and with the effort, we put into ourselves we eventually are able to beat that sadness. I went on a journey of finding self-love and who I was truly and it was difficult I'm not completely perfect no one is really but I think when you find the feeling of contentedness you've come to comprehend that you're okay. Depression hits hard and really affects people in so many different ways and I was one of them. It made me lose motivation in doing the things I did on a normal basis and I would hide away shoving this battle against myself into a corner that always stayed there. It wasn't healthy but I eventually found a way. I realized that this was something I could conquer and nothing will be able to develop in a more contrasting way if I don't do it myself. It takes a lot to come forward with accepting these things too, not only is overcoming such things difficult but so is the rehab part. It takes a toll on you to construct the things you want to do to the things you need to do. I want to make an impact on others in their futures by making sure they're able to understand the things they're about to do so that they don't have to also go through such tough things in their lives and realize later on that what they did really changed their entire lives. When others are aware of the results these leave not all but most of them find this understanding and begin to change their thoughts. I want to not only say these things to people who might just hear my meaningful words but I hope to change people in more ways than one. A great way to help someone in a similar situation is to try and understand what they're going through and tell them what you think might be helpful to hear, maybe something you would like to hear about. I will try my best to be there for people if they need me or someone and be there like I would like someone there for me too. I would show them how much potential they have and how they are worth so much more than they think they are and that they were put on this earth for a reason, one that they will find for themselves. That's how I cope with depression and that's how I help with depression, I let them know what they've been working for all their lives will come and is coming. Just like how I'm working for that.

I admire Jane Austen. Why? You may ask. One of my favorite authors of all time she was a great novelist and an inspirational individual herself. The novels she wrote were full of her thoughts and opinions which gave others a chance to look at the world differently. A key topic she included in most of her pieces was how married women were most approving in society and how they were able to consume so many rights and benefits if they were only married because of their spouse. She made it a conflict almost in her pieces and gave the main female roles the intelligence of being able to think uniquely from a boring pattern of a simple life that most women get handed if they stay put. I found a great love for her books and have been able to create imaginations beyond my thinking and I gravitate towards wanting to reread these most often cause they give a sense of comfort and close acquaintances. If she can touch my heart from a few soft descriptive words I think she's able to capture many more and give them the same sensibility I'm able to pertain when I read her novels. She's able to entertain and teach those who are in need but as a writer back then she wrote and posted these anonymously. With not having the ability to directly share these as herself she was still able to write and share these amongst others that willingly read her works. These works can give others the ability to collectively pull together what they think and say and might be afraid to speak about having the instinct to do so. And that is why she is someone I admire from history.

I firstly began a journey of being eco-friendly with my everyday lifestyle by noticing what I can do differently in each activity I participated in during the day; I realized many of the items I was using were not the best for the planet and I slowly changed what I used and what I did. Some small examples of me having a positive impact on the climate are: turning off all the lights in my home during the day and depending on natural sunlight throughout the day, leaving my car at home whenever I needed to go somewhere nearby, and making sure I'm able to reuse or recycle products and services I'm using, going to the farmers market more often and purchasing from local small businesses, shopping at second-hand shops, spending more time in my garden, while watching my flowers bloom and grow and I've started to regrow any vegetables I can in small reusable jars. Lastly, I try to go on runs and walks every so often whenever I can. Even though some of these changes I made are small I believe we're able to save the planet one person at a time slowly yet surely. With one individual sharing the knowledge they know they'll be able to share it with another and eventually so will they.
